Typically, there’s one unmistakable big fish on the NBA trade market. This cycle is no different. The largest name looming over the league — by a wide margin — is Giannis Antetokounmpo. An in-his-prime MVP candidate rarely becomes even theoretical trade fodder. Players of Antetokounmpo’s caliber almost never shake loose...

The Western Conference has offered little margin for error this season, and the Los Angeles Clippers are finding that out the hard way. With Oklahoma City (31–7), San Antonio (26–11), and Denver (25–12) separating themselves at the top — and a deep middle tier led by the Lakers (23–12), Timberwolves...

Anthony Davis is no stranger to NBA trade rumors, but it feels like his tenure with the Dallas Mavericks will be particularly abrupt. Seriously. Davis just landed in Dallas, and the rumors are already flying. That's typically not a good sign of a player's long-term viability with an organization. It's...

It’s been a wild couple of seasons for the Los Angeles Lakers. Not long ago, they looked unmoored. LeBron James has remained shockingly effective in his 40s, but the end of his NBA career is no longer theoretical. For a franchise defined by succession—from Magic Johnson to Kobe Bryant to...

The Bucks are bereft of future assets. If they traded even a single first-round pick, that would be indicative...

The NBA was supposed to be entering a grand age of parity. The Oklahoma City Thunder said, "So much for that." We may be on the cusp of another dynasty. The San Antonio Spurs have been impressive. The Detroit Pistons have a comparable record in a weaker Eastern Conference. Still,...

As the NBA trade deadline approaches, the market is beginning to take shape. Some big names are in the rumor mill this year. Giannis Antetokounmpo casts a shadow over everyone. He's an in-prime MVP candidate. If Antetokounmpo gets moved, it'll change the NBA. That said, it wasn't so long ago...
